Coagulase-negative staphylococcal (CONS) species often have trophism for distinct regions of host (i.e., axillae, head, etc.) ○ Most common organism isolated from human skin Infectious Agents • Practically split into coagulase-positive (S. aureus) and coagulase-negative (major species inclu...
Responses to a questionnaire regarding student immunization from 101 of 129 allopathic medical schools (78.3 per cent) indicated that 16 schools (15.8 per cent) do not request historical information or perform serologic tests on their students. Only 47 of 85 schools (55.3 per cent), who do ...
1 SARS-CoV-2, a single-stranded enveloped RNA virus, is known to use the ACE2 receptor to enter host lung tissue, followed by rapid viral replication.2 Clinical presentation demonstrates predominantly pulmonary symptoms, including cough, shortness of breath, pneumonia, and acute respiratory ...
Lastly, plipastatin is synthesized non-ribosomally by five fengycin synthetases (ppsA-E), that are regulated by DegQ, a master regulator of the transition from a motile cell state to a biofilm-forming state45. DegQ is activated by catabolite repression and is under the control of the DegSU...
Methods: We compared patients, including children and adults, with MRSA and MSSA infections at the University of Chicago Medical Center (UCMC) from all clinical units from July 1, 2004-June 30, 2005; we also compared the genotypes of the MRSA and MSSA infecting bacterial strains. Results: ...
On the other hand, the selection of the modification mode, which has superior antibacterial properties and can promote the adhesion of host cells, is of great significance in improving the ability of bone integration in implants. Tantalum has excellent corrosion resistance, and as a component of ...

the drug or its reactive metabolite covalently binds to a host protein or peptide and generates an immunogenic, haptenated, de novo peptide that is presented on HLA molecules. Peptide-independent, non-covalent binding of the drug to either the TCR or HLA protein that directly activates T cell ...
bacilli, larger secondary lesions with greater Arg1+ and double positive iNOS+/Arg1+ macrophages, and reduced T cell density. This morphomolecular analysis of histologic correlates of disease progression in B6.Sst1S could serve as a platform for assessment of medical countermeasures against NTM ...
